On Tuesday evening, November 5, a number of extremely interesting matches of the Champions League football took place.
The confrontation between the local Real Madrid and the Italian Milan stands out among them.
Few could have predicted that the current Champions League winners lost.
How it was
By the way, the current coach of the “creamy” Carlo Ancelotti was the helmsman of the Italian grandee for a long time.
During that period, he trained many world-famous football players, some of whom today successfully work as head coaches in European clubs.
As for the game in the Spanish capital, the hosts suffered a 1-3 defeat. However, one of their goals was disallowed due to offside.
Milan's goals were scored by Malik Thiaw (12th minute), Alvaro Morata (39) and Tayani Reynders (73).
Madrid managed to score once - in the 23rd minute, Vinicius Junior scored a precise penalty kick.
It was Real Madrid's first defeat in the Champions League this season.

Victor Gyokeres scored a hat-trick in the latter's 38th, 49th and 80th (penalty) minutes. Another goal was scored by Maximiliano Araujo (46).
The British team's only goal was scored in the 4th minute by Phil Foden.
The main phenomenon of the past European football season, Bayer Leverkusen, was mercilessly beaten by Liverpool.
The British city also saw a hat-trick – Luis Diaz torpedoed the Germans’ goal three times (61,83 and 92+).
Gakpo (63) scored another goal for Liverpool, making it 4-0 in favour of the hosts.
